Definitions
- This invention relates to degradable synthetic polymer compositions.
- packaging items such as bags and containers are destined, after a relatively short functional life, to arrive as a significant component of urban garbage or, to a much lesser extent, in the form of litter-
- packaging items are being manu ⁇ factured from plastics, that is to say from synthetic polymer compositions, which, whilst being cheap and having the physical properties which make them highly suitable for such packaging purposes, have the dis ⁇ advantage, as components of waste or garbage, of being highly resistant to destruction by the chemical and physical actions to which they are subject in the natural environment and thereby such components constitute a mounting nuisance-
- the first, chemical, stage of this degradation process can follow different mechanisms which can be broadly classified under two headings the first being photochemical oxidative chain scission, and the second chemical catalytic oxidative chain scission.
- the present invention to provide a synthetic polymer capable of undergoing degradation under the conditions to which items made therefrom are subject when they form a component of garbage disposed of by the landfill or composting route of garbage disposal.
- a degradable polymer composition which incor ⁇ porates a normally stable chemically saturated polymer, a - i t-
- a degradable polymer composition which comprises a blend of a normally stable chemically saturated polymer, a less stable chemically unsaturated compound in the form of a polymer or copolymer, an antioxidant active over a limited period and a latent pro-oxidant, the presence together of the anti-oxidant and the pro-oxidant giving rise to a period of induction before a sharp loss of physical strength occurs, whereby the period of induction can be exploited as the effective working life of the polymer composition.
- the stable polymer is preferably a polyethylene such as low-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene or high density polyethylene. Alternat ⁇ ively, the stable polymer may be polypropylene or polystyrene.
- the associated unsaturated compound may be an elastomer of the type made by the polymerisation of 1:4 dienes, or the copolymerisation of such 1:4 dienes with ethenoid comonomers.
- compositions embodying the invention form a class of polymer formulations, the lifetime of which is divided into two zones. This is achieved by exploiting the phenomenon of the induction period which can be noted when an oxidation sensitive material is protected by selected types of protective chemical additives generally called antioxidants.
- antioxidants are a normal Ingredient of most packaging polymer formulations, being required initially to protect the polymer during the extreme thermal stresses of compound ⁇ ing and conversion processing.
- compositions in accordance with the invention can be produced which, whilst being adequately stable for the duration of the essentially anaerobic conversion processing in enclosed machinery such as extruders, will subsequently reach the point at which the anti-oxidant is expended and the system enters into its second time zone during which oxidation takes place.
- This oxidation ideally commences after a passage of time which, at normal room tem ⁇ perature, safely exceeds the normal functional life of such products.
- compositions embodying the invention substances capable of autoxidation because such substances are more readily initiated into the oxidation process by virtue of their unsaturation and, once initiated, the chemical processes can involve the more resistant saturated molecular structures of the common packaging thermoplastics such as the poly- olefines.
- the unsaturated poly ⁇ meric component of a composition embodying the invention natural rubber or particular styrene-butadiene elasto ⁇ mers which not only provide adequate levels of autoxidis- able unsaturation but also greatly Improve some of the physical properties of the products especially their impact strength.
- Transition metal salts are preferred as pro-oxidants for these degradable compositions and it has been found that, provided that the anti-oxidant and pro- oxidant types and ratios are correctly selected and adhered to, then transition metal compounds capable of the oxygen transfer chemistry can be incorporated into polymer compositions jointly with anti-oxidant ingred ⁇ ients in the compounding operation.
- transition metal salts used in preferred embodiments are salts formed by combining transition _ ? _
- metals such as cobalt, manganese and copper with organic acids of sufficiently high molecular weight to give salts soluble in the host polymer blends used.
- transition metal as used herein means an element having greater than 8 and less than 18 electrons in the outer group of the ion. Transition metals are thus usually capable of electron transitions between their outer shells and the variable valency states resulting render them capable of inducing oxidation reactions. In practice, those transition elements which are highly toxic, radioactive, are extremely rare and costly are not normally encountered in industrial use as oxidation catalysts. Typical transition metals whose salts and complexes do feature in such applications and could be considered for use in carrying out the present invention are Ce, Zn, Cu, Ag, Ni , Co, Fe, Mn, Cr, and V.
- salts typically display an adequate level of solubility in polymer melts, typically stearates, oleates, behenates, yristates, erucates, linoleates, or naphthenates, or complexes such as ace- tonylacetates, 8-hydroxyquinolinates, metalamine salt complexes and the like.
- the trans ⁇ ition metal salts may be used in quantities such as to provide from 0.001$ to 1 % by weight of the metal in the composition, depending upon the desired oxidation rate.
- the anti-oxidant used is generally that incorporated as a matter of course in the manufacture of the respective chemically saturated polymer.
- commercially supplied polyolefine mater ⁇ ials are normally sold containing a variety of well established anti-oxidants and any of these antioxidants can be used in the compositions of this invention.
- Typical of such anti-oxidants is the ICI product Topanol (4-methyl-1 , 6-di(2-hydroxy-3-tertbutyl-5-methylbenzyl)- phenol used for stabilising most low-density poly ⁇ ethylene (LDPE) materials.
- LDPE low-density poly ⁇ ethylene
- the proportion of the unsaturated polymer or copolymer in a composition embodying the invention may be in the range 0.5$ to 50$ by weight of the composition, preferably between 2$ and 15$ in order to balance the factors of cost, adequate oxidation effect, and adequate restoration of strength loss due to the presence of starch where used.
- the starch content may be from 0.5 to 50$ by weight of the composition, although mechanical strength of the composition at the higher end of this range tends to be low.
- the starch content is from 2$ to 15$ by weight of the co.mposition.
- compositions embodying the invention when items formed from compositions embodying the invention are buried or composted with other garbage, degradation commences early in the second time zone, with oxidation following depletion of the antioxidant. Also commencing early in the second time zone is the interaction between the micro-organisms occurring profusely in the garbage environment and the partly oxidised polymers. It has been observed that the inclusion of particulate organic fillers such as starch into synthetic polymer formulations can have an acceler ⁇ ating effect on the biological breakdown of those polymers which are themselves intrinsically sensitive to direct enzyme chain scission.
- compositions embodying the invention are dis ⁇ closed, by way of illustration, in the examples in the following description.
- FIGURE 1 is a graph illustrating variation of ultimate tensile strength (UTS) with time for a first composition embodying the invention
- FIGURE 2 is a graph illustrating variation of percentage strength retention with time for a second composition embodying the invention and a control material not embodying the invention.
- FIGURE 3 is a graph illustrating variation of break energy for standardised samples, with incubation time of the material, for two different compositions embodying the invention and illustrating the effect of varying the percentage of pro-oxidant, and
- FIGURE 4 is a graph showing weight change, as an indication of oxidation, over a period of time, and illustrating the effect of the incorporation of natural rubber, as the unsaturated polymer, in a composition embodying the invention, as contrasted with a material which is of substantially the same composition apart from the omission of rubber.
- Polyethylene of melt flow index 2 and density 0.916 which would have contained a normal complement of heat stabiliser, was hot compounded on a two-roll mill at 150° Centigrade with its own weight of maize starch which had previously been oven dried to about 1$ moisture content. The hide stripped from the mill was cooled and cut into granules to provide a starch masterbatch. Further polyethylene of melt flow index 2 and density 0.916 was compounded on the mill with its own weight of a granular block copolymer of styrene and butadiene con ⁇ taining 40$ of styrene and reported by its manufacturers, Phillips Petroleum, to have a molecular weight of 130,000.
- the hide stripped from the mill was again cooled and cut into granules to provide a synthetic rubber masterbatch.
- a cold mix of granules was prepared containing 10$ of dry starch and 5$ of the synthetic rubber.
- a quantity of a solution of cobalt naphthenate in white spirit was added calculated to provide a cobalt concen ⁇ tration of 0.01$ in the total mix by virtue of the cobalt content of the white spirit solution being 10$.
- a pilot plant for film blowing was set up working with the same polyethylene grade as was used for the blend of master ⁇ batches so that the film thickness was close to 50 micrometers and, when the operating conditions were stable, the feed hopper was emptied and the cold blend of masterbatches and polyethylene was introduced into the hopper.
- the operation of cne machine continued undis ⁇ turbed by the change of material and it was easy, knowing the characteristics of the particular machine, to collect film samples which had essentially the same composition as the feed blend material. Samples were cut from this film for test purposes some of which were tested for tensile properties immediately and others suspended in an incubator maintained at 70° Centigrade with internal forced air circulation so that samples could be withdrawn every 24 hours for testing.
- test temperature was chosen as representative of typical thermal conditions in garbage composting. Standard shape dumb bell samples were punched from the samples and they were tested essentially in accord with ASTM D.882-64T. It was very obvious that the tensile behaviour of the incubated material changed very little for about one week at the end of which time its ultimate tensile strength collapsed to a level so low that it could not be measured in the customary equipment. At the end of a further week the samples could not be picked up in the fingers without crumbling into fragments.
- a roll of 50 micron thick low density polyethylene film was prepared exactly as described in Example I using the same formulation. From the roll rectangular sample pieces were cut measuring about 8cms by 20 cms in such a manner as to ensure that the extrusion direction of the film coincided in every case with the longer dimension of the test pieces thus ensuring that the subsequent strength measurements were strictly comparable in terms of possible extrusion orientation effects. In order to expose these film samples to comparable soil burial conditions they were all interred in the same plot of earth.
- This plot was created by clearing a mature loam garden bed in the County of Surrey, U.K., of the previous year's growth, sieving the soil to a depth of about 20 cms through a inch riddle to remove large stones, raking the surface smooth to avoid the local collection of rainwater, and providing a horizontal wire mesh screen held clear of the surface by a light wooden frame to prevent digging or burrowing by cats, dogs, or rabbits.
- the plastic film samples were buried individually in the test plot with each sample set on edge to ensure free drainage of water and to ensure all-round contact with the earth. The top edge of each sample was about 5 cms below the surface of the earth.
- Control samples of LDPE film extrusion blown at the same thickness and from the same base polymer but without the starch, elastomer and prodegradant (pro-oxidant and starch) additives were buried at the same time and in the same manner. All the test samples were buried on the same day in the month of May and groups of samples were removed from the plot at intervals as required for testing. The disinterred samples were washed free of adhering soil particles and dried by exposing them in the test room environment at about 50$ relative humidity after blotting them free from surface moisture.
- Cut samples from these two films measuring about 8cms by 20cms were suspended freely in an air circulated incubator maintained at an air temperature of 70° Centigrade plus or minus 1° Centigrade. Samples of both types of film were removed at convenient intervals, dumb ⁇ bell samples punched, and their tensile properties measured following the procedures of ASTM D882-64T. The load/elongation curves were recorded using an XY recorder linked to the analogue voltage outputs of the tensile testing machine and the areas of these curves measured using an image analysing device.
- the technique of plotting breaking energy against time of exposure to test conditions has the advantage that it takes into account both the loss in tensile strength and the reduction of elongation at break which are commonly observed consequences of the oxidative degradation processes.
- the pro-oxidant such as a transition metal salt
- the pro-oxidant may be omitted from the polymer composition, and the presence of iron salts in the soil, or in the other garbage with which packaging or the like made from the polymer composition is buried or composted may be relied upon to promote oxidation of the unsaturated polymer or co ⁇ polymer in the composition blend whereby degradation may be initiated by the act of burying or composting the garbage.
- a composition embodying the invention may be made into a degradable product comprising a thin film or sheet adapted for the manufacture of bags and wrappings, the thin film or sheet having been formed by extrusion, extrusion blowing, film casting or calendering the polymer composition.
- a composition embodying the invention may alternatively be formed into three- dimensional objects such as containers or vessels, or disposable utility items, by injection moulding, blow moulding, compression moulding, thermoforming or rotational casting of the polymer composition.
